Nearly 50,000 personal records relating to Australian government employees were exposed to the internet due to a misconfigured Amazon cloud storage server that was storing backup data. The data exposed included names, email addresses, phone numbers, IDs, passwords, some credit card numbers and details about staff salaries and expenses.

The government says the data was historical and partially anonymized and not classified or related to national security.”]
